A study from The Conference Board of Canada expects the number of seniors who will access physiotherapy services to jump from 566,000 in 2014 to 1.5 million by 2035. Meanwhile, the number of seniors needing and receiving continuing care (physiotherapy services such as exercise classes and fall prevention) is projected to double by 2035 to 2.9 million. CBoC bases its projections on demographic shifts showing seniors making up one-fourth of the population in 2035, up from one-sixth in 2014.
